THE FLAW IN THE GERMAN OCCUPATIONAL SYSTEM
There is training for everything. Except for the most important job: that of a manager.
There is a systemic flaw in today's professional system: you are promoted to management without being trained for it.
The result: overburdened managers, who are stuck in the operational hamster wheel and experience a constant lack of time. As a manager, it's actually about dedicating yourself to the really important tasks and having an impact.
Operational hamster wheel
10 to 15 hours of overtime per week without any real progress being made.
Constant lack of time
No capacity for the really important management tasks, let alone for yourself.
Team with the handbrake on
You delegate too little, get too little out of it and notice it every day.
The solution: A state-approved training course with exercises, trainer feedback and targeted practical exercises. It develops you into a manager who has enough time for leadership and leads a high-performing team.

Vlad Yakchenko
I have always been fascinated by communication. It was clear to me very early on that language is more than just a means of exchange, it is the key to connecting people, resolving conflicts and bringing about change.
That's why I studied law, with the aim of later contributing to more peace in the world as a diplomat. But in the courtroom, I quickly realized that it's not about understanding, but about conflict, mistrust and self-interest. I wanted a different path.
I have been training managers, politicians and teams at BMW, SAP, Pro7, Deutsche Bahn and Allianz since 2008. I have already reached millions of people on stages such as Greator and TEDx, in 11 books (including 3 SPIEGEL bestsellers) and with my Argumentation Academy. My concept of the „5 roles of a leader“, developed between 2012 and 2020, is now even taught at US universities.
My goal: to turn 1 million managers into charismatic leaders. Because I am convinced: If we talk to each other better, we can make the world a better place.

Frequently asked questions
Am I suitable for the apprenticeship?
Regardless of whether you are already a manager or an ambitious employee. There is potential for improvement at every stage of your career. You usually only recognize your weaknesses when you actively address the issue. And once you have turned your weakness into your greatest strength, the next career leap will not be long in coming.
Is there a possibility to “get a taste”?
You have the opportunity to take part in one of Wlad's free live events. There he will show you useful techniques that you can apply in your day-to-day work. At most events, you even get the chance to apply for a free 1:1 coaching session with Wlad in person. Sign up for the newsletter here to make sure you don't miss the next event.
What is the content of the training?
We face countless communication challenges in everyday life. Over many years, I have therefore created a course on every important topic. You can choose which topic you want to start with first. Be it conflict management, negotiation skills, personal development or efficiency. You will find exciting know-how on every topic, which is also useful in the private sector.
How will the training increase my salary?
You will learn how to score points with your appearance in addition to your professional competence. In most cases, arguing convincingly is more important than the content of your statement. With a confident yet likeable appearance, armed with the best negotiation techniques, you will negotiate better results for yourself with superiors or contractual partners. Take a look at our case studies.
What are the differences to other leadership training courses?
Other management ”training courses” usually last 2 to 3 days and therefore deal with everything very superficially. “In there, and out there.” As we know that a significant change in your personality can only be achieved with a lot of practice and practical application, our training lasts at least 6 months. We take a lot of time so that you actually internalize what you have learned and develop the routine to apply it.
Will the training pay off for me?
Graduates of the Masterclass achieve their goals within the 6-month period. Be it salary increases or promotions. In all cases, the investment pays off even faster than the participants would have expected. The only condition: You must invest 3 to 4 hours a week in your change and actively participate. The willingness to spend this time is the basic prerequisite for your success.
